这篇论文描述了在南越服役的美国陆军士兵使用毒品，特别是海洛因的情况。它是围绕着一些关于越南海洛因使用的常见假设组织起来的，这些假设在媒体上以及与陆军指挥官、医务人员、研究专业人员和外行人讨论数据时都反复出现。假设是：（1）越南的海洛因使用者与大多数主要城市的”街头吸毒者”相同。(2)海洛因使用者必然是罪犯。(3)海洛因使用者不能有效地履行其职责。(4)海洛因使用者在到达越南之前对毒品使用方式很天真。(5)海洛因的使用是精神疾病的结果。(6)使用海洛因是因为战斗压力。(7)吸食海洛因是因为”无聊。（8）海洛因的使用是“反体制、反军事的反主流文化”的结果。“当然，没有一个人或媒体来源在正式的论点中提出所有这些假设。事实上，有些假设可能是矛盾的，例如，“战斗压力”和“无聊”是海洛因使用的原因。这些假设并不是为了提供一个稻草人拆除，但提供的主题“世界”的态度，信仰和价值观的那些在家里，干扰的理解和欣赏的“南”的受访者在这项研究中所经历的。
THIS paper is a description of drug use, particularly heroin, by US Army enlisted men who served in South Vietnam. It has been organized around some common assumptions about heroin use in Vietnam that have been recurrent both in the press and in discussions of the data with Army commanders, medical personnel, research professionals, and laymen. The assumptions are:(1) Heroin users in Vietnam were identical to" street junkies" found in most major cities.(2) Heroin users were necessarily criminals.(3) Heroin users could not effectively perform their jobs.(4) Heroin users were naive to the ways of drug usage before they arrived in Vietnam.(5) Heroin use was a result of mental illness.(6) Heroin use resulted from combat stress.(7) Heroin use resulted from" boredom."(8) Heroin use was a result of the" anti-establishment, anti-military counterculture." No single person or media source, of course, advances all of these assumptions in a formal argument. Indeed, some of the assumptions can be contradictory-for example," combat stress" and" boredom" as causes of heroin use. The assumptions are not intended to provide a straw man for demolition, but to provide the thematic motif of" the world"-the attitudes, beliefs, and values of those at home-that interfere with an understanding and appreciation of" the Nam" as experienced by the respondents in this study.
